Okay, now I'm really pissed -- not just angry.
A telephone pollster phoned me today, presumably the Times/Elway Poll
based on the questions asked.


I was first asked if I support Affirmative Action.  Yes.


I was then asked if I support I-200.  Yes.


Then I was asked if I knew that I-200 would repeal Affirmative Action, and
would that change my support.



My response was that I-200 had nothing to do with Affirmative Action, and
I suggested -- baldly -- that the poll was lying to me.


The caller was flustered for a bit, then came back with his "trump" card.
Would it change my view, he said, if I knew that the ACLU says I-200 will
repeal Affirmative Action.  No.


Richard Shepard, are you listening.  I think we have a PDC complaint here.
This is not an opinion poll.  It's a political poll that tells the
sponsors what it takes to change one's support of I-200.  Thus, it's an
"in-kind contribution" to the NO On I-200 campaign.  Right or wrong?
